Women in Sport 2017- Karen Campion

Sport for Business, in partnership with Liberty Insurance, is publishing our third annual list of the 50 Most Influential Women in Irish Sport.

This is not about Women’s sport, it is about the influence that women are wielding across all sport. We will identify leaders on and off the field of play. They will include those who are role models in terms of their abilities on and off the field of play. They will come from teams and individual sports, from sponsorship partners, from the media, from the administrative corridors of power and from places where influence may be subtle but no less powerful.

Karen Campion

Karen Campion is Head of Business Partnerships and Strategy at the FAI. She stepped into the role in 2017 after the departure of Miriam Malone to become CEO of Paralympics Ireland.

Campion previously at the FAI as Financial Controller since 2009.

The new position puts her front and centre stage in managing the relationships that embed the FAI in so many areas of Irish society through relationships with local authorities, Government departments, Third level colleges and commercial supporters such as Tetrarch Hospitality who support the Football for All programme,

Facing into a year when there will be less focus on the exploits of the international Men’s team it is the hard work at these levels that will matter most and Campion will be the champion of programmes and partnerships that really matter.

In 2018 Sport for Business will host 20 events linking sport and business in ways that make a difference to how we all do such a great job, as well as producing our Daily News Digest covering the commercial world of Irish sport.
